Probably will just bring that PC to a computer shop & get them to install the RAM instead. Already spent too much of my time on it.

FirstMedia rocks : on Friday we called them about subscribing to their FastNet service. On Saturday they showed up 😀 totally did not expect that.

And now we got 4 Mbps Internet line connected to our home. Yesss… happy, and creeped out as well.

I still remember that's the Internet bandwidth of my office, Birmingham city council. One day I worked during holiday, took the opportunity to download some big ISO file, and was subsequently awed when I noticed that the download speed continued to climb, until it stabilized at 500 KBps / 4 Mbps.

Now you get that kind of speed at your own home….. yes sir, we have done some pretty good progress.

BlackBerry 10 – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Launch Announcement. On November 12, 2012, Heins announced a January 30, 2013 launch of the BlackBerry 10 operating system and the first smartphones running it. The operating system, as well as…

"But the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and justice must also be recognized. Put yourself in their shoes – look at the world through their eyes.

It is not fair that a Palestinian child cannot grow up in a state of her own, and lives with the presence of a foreign army that controls the movements of her parents every single day. It is not just when settler violence against Palestinians goes unpunished. It is not right to prevent Palestinians from farming their lands; to restrict a student’s ability to move around the West Bank; or to displace Palestinian families from their home.

Neither occupation nor expulsion is the answer. Just as Israelis built a state in their homeland, Palestinians have a right to be a free people in their own land."

"That is where peace begins – not just in the plans of leaders, but in the hearts of people; not just in a carefully designed process, but in the daily connections that take place among those who live together in this land, and in this sacred city of Jerusalem. Speaking as a politician, I can promise you this: political leaders will not take risks if the people do not demand that they do. You must create the change that you want to see."

"Already, we see how that innovation could reshape this region. One program here in Jerusalem brings together young Israelis & Palestinians to learn vital skills in technology and business. An Israeli and Palestinian have started a venture capital fund to finance Palestinian start-ups. Over 100 high-tech companies have found a home on the West Bank, which speaks to the talent and entrepreneurial spirit of the Palestinian people."

In the last six months, +Google Chrome has played host to some of Indonesia’s finest up-and-coming artistic talent with the Chrome Open Spaces project. Designed to showcase the creativity possible with modern web technologies, Chrome Open Spaces called on aspiring artists from across the archipelago to submit drawings via a custom-designed app. The app enabled people to create ‘street art’ online using digital spray paints, brushes and stencils. Over 12,000 drawings were submitted and 11,000 votes were cast. From these virtual paintings, nine winners were chosen to have their creations showcased on buildings and walls across Jakarta and Bandung.

Blackberry Z10 kicks ass ! :: since I found out that BBZ will be like Playbook, based on QNX, I've predicted that it'll kick ass. And it does indeed.

Get this :

# Compatibility with Android apps : I didn't expect it to run heavy apps, like games such as Modern Combat. Guess what – it runs it very very smoothly. Damn….

This means that from the moment it launched, it instantly have thousands of (android) apps ready to be used.

# Silky smooth UI : the best. Constantly smooth UI all the time. Even JellyBean still couldn't compete with it. This is what you get with the correct implementation of QNX.

# Easy Access : this one needs to be experienced by yourself – basically, its UI's main interface is always available, by way of edge-swipe. True shortcuts.

And the overall UI just makes sense. Very intuitive.

# Just right form-factor : I love Playbook's design. I spent almost a month with it in Saudi Arabia, travelling to various places & cities. And it's an absolute joy to bring around.

BBZ have similarly very sensible design. No non-sense. It fits very nicely into your palm and your pockets.

# Features : from the first you turn it on, it's ready to be used. It already have enough apps & features to get you going straight away.

# Power : based on QNX, it should be able to handle even the most riotous bbm groups, etc. Unlike Blackberry's own OS.

Blackberry Playbook is the best tablet I've ever tried. Android JellyBean and the latest iOS devices still couldn't match its powerful & intuitive OS. However, it's lacking very very badly where it matters – applications.

Why I switched from iPhone to Android
About a month and a half ago, I walked into an AT&T Store, handed over my iPhone 4S, and asked to be switched from my unlimited iPhone data plan to a new LTE data plan. I bought the first-genera…
